Top 10 Signs You Need a 1st Life

☀•.¸¸.☀✿☀ Top 10 Signs You Need A 1st Life ☀•.¸¸.☀✿☀
☑ When your PC crashes at RL work you tell a colleague you'll BRB because you have to relog
☑ You find yourself unconsciously mimicking your Av's AO poses in RL
☑ You fall asleep at your PC
☑ Your IMs go to your Blackberry
☑ Your Av profile picture is your RL Facebook profile picture
☑ You find yourself trying to count the prims in buildings in RL
☑ You find yourself imagining what it would be like to orbit your RL boss
☑ You try to cam in on web pages
☑ Your Facebook friends are also your Second Life friends
☑ You don't ask for directions, you ask for a Landmark

I was just out clubbing with the girls tonight. Some fun gestures and comments going around. We hit Club Rumors and then Bar None. Both good spots.

PNP-Props and Poses for Photopraghy



Spishak Sorbet is co-owner of PNP and anyone in the group knows he's often sending out freebies, notices to come to the store for free poses and things and providing information about sales, photo contests, hunt information, dancing, photography and Photoshop tutorial videos, etc. The over 1700 member group is active and informative and the store is loaded with all kinds of poses for single, couples, groups and has backgrounds and props. There are also some other fun things like the infamous "angry box". I've been enjoying PNP poses and great sales for a long time now so when I thought of a pose I wanted but couldn't find in SL I IM'd Spishak who asked me to tell him about what I wanted .. and when I did, he immediately made just the right pose. I have to say I was very impressed with not only the quick skills but the service and friendly attitude. Then the really fun part.. trying to make a cool pic with a unique, thus far one of a kind as far as I know pose made upon request. And here it is! A seated pose with hand out that looks like it's holding something like this small bird in above pic. The store is huge with lots of poses to chose from. Check the store out here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Phoenix%20Determined/76/186/1102 or direct link here: PNPHere.

The Mad Hatter, A Cool New Events Venue

harper_008
(Harper & Raspbury)

I dropped in to the new events venue, The Mad Hatter, in time to catch Harper Messmer and Raspbury Rearwin dual streaming tonight. There was a good crowd for this event and the venue itself was fun to check out. Raspbury continued singing alone with his keyboards and guitar after he dual streamed with Harper.

The Mad Hatter is owned by Dani Sarjeant and Jayson Massenberg. Situated in the grunge sim of Dark Realm this venue has all the asthetic details to make it a delight to see and hang out in as well as enjoy the talent. Dani said, "We started having live artists early August. Actually August 11th was our first show featuring, Harper Messmer. :) The Mad Hatter has always been a dream of Jay's. He has always wanted a place where artists can come and play for free. We actually do not rely on any of the tips we generate because we live here. We never charge or take a percentage." Dani and Jayson actually live in the mainland and this area is in the sky which I didnt initially notice as it's a large area filled with highly detailed shops. Jayson said they don't charge rent for their shops. I asked about the sim and style. Razobladejacket is opening up a store here and Tink tattoo is also in Dark Realm. I cammed and saw clothing stores, eye stores, an adorable grocery that gave me free stuff, plus various other stores. I also saw there is a subway, a tall building that has a casino, bowling and other things. Dani stated, "We love the grunge look and decided the zombie side is a great way to get people here and they can have some fun. we turn those off when we have events lol" "There are so many talented people in SL. We just hope that people can come here and enjoy the venue and appreciate what these artists do." It really is very cool looking and with the talent and crowds tonight I'm sure they will ejoy great success. Check it out here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Dark%20Realm/197/192/1163 or direct link here: TheMadHatterHere.

Tomorrow, Friday 8-26-11 they host Quanah at 8pm slt as well as musicians Amforte and Acousticenergy Nitely.

Hogwarts, Your Story-RP Sim Opening

Hogwarts

Hogwarts_001
Hogwarts

Once again I am checking out the latest in SL, and that seems to be the new Hogwarts/Harry Potter role role play sim opening this week. The clothes are out all over SL stores, the products and photos of people in outfits with accessories are all over Flickr, many have blogged, and many more are patiently waiting for this RP sim to open for business, or rather RP. The landing spot is here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Accio/85/135/73 or direct link here: HogwartsHere. The sim is still under construction but open all week from 6pm SLT to 9am SLT then closed again until 6pm SLT so they can continue to work on things.
Their note card reads:
"Hello, and welcome to a preview of the Hogwarts: your Story castle!
As you can see, we are still under some construction. Regardless, we would like to share with you our progress.

Hogwarts Hogwarts_012

Please purchase the box (L$0) near the Great Hall entrance in the courtyard OR the viaduct entrance for landmarks to certain areas of the castle. We are still working on the hallways and corridors so that accessing these areas will seem more authentic in the future.
Because we are still under some construction, 'preview days' are limited to these hours:
6 PM - 9 AM SLT
The sim will be closed (to staff access only, not public) for construction from:
9 AM - 6 PM SLT
We anticipate to finish the castle as soon as possible.
We hope you enjoy your stay and we look forward to meeting you!
Thank you!
Best,
H: YS Staff

This is the time to check out the houses, facilities, and decided where you might fit in.. or like me, just check it all out. At the landing zone there is a free box loaded with landmarks to areas of the sim. First I checked out the dungeons which are currently some large dark catacomb areas obviously not quite finished, then i checked out the grounds followed by the Gryffendor common room which there were plenty of people playing in. Jameslee Magic let me take a pic of us together in the Hufflepuff commons. I checked out Ravenclaw and Slytherin commons. also visited the The library was massive.. I mean HUGE! I really do want to get lost in a library like that. Everything is highly detailed inside. I also visited the quidditch pitch. I had no sightings in the bathroom. The courtyard was the busiest area today as it is filled with clothes and products so if one comes in unprepared they can be completely outfitted right on the spot. I also got myself a Pygmy puff there. I demo'd the nibus 1700 which was a fun ride : ) Everyone was asked to keep arc under 800 for the time being and so there were some people bald and barefoot while others were decked out in HP theme clothes like myself. They were still working on the dueling courtyard and it was getting late so that is where I ended my tour for the night. Overall very impressive look and it appears many people are interested.

bel blog
My friend Belinda Barnes snuck into my place and took this pic which turned out so well I asked if I could put it on my blog and she agreed. She listed the outfit info for us too.. Yay! Thanks Bel.
I nabbed this from her Flickr which states as follows:
"A little breaking and entering between friends
I needed a beautiful apartment for this shoot and because I live off the kindness of others where domiciles are concerned I found myself having to break into this lovely art ridden lair to get my picture. There I confessed! Do you know who is the lucky owner of this place?

Calling All Football Players and Wannabees-Male OR Female! Virtual Football at it's Best!



Do you enjoy football and/or gaming? Then the Browns football team just might be for you. As many of you know I've been a cheerleader with the awesome BOSL (Best of Second Life) Browns football team. Last year we had a ton of fun cheering our team into the 2nd place position with a very close championship game. The guys and girls were great! But now it's recruitment time and we need more players. This season both male and female avatars can actually play the game, which I have tried several times and find to be a lot of fun. There really is strategy involved and the scripts and movements are impressive. This is a game anyone can enjoy and excel at whether you know RL football or not. The BOSL Browns are now called the Grove Browns. The game is 6 on 6 league play that accepts both male and female players. Guys, if you think you have what it takes, you probably do, and if not, they will teach you everything you need to know. Girls if you like to get down and dirty and pile up with the guys,.. no wait... I mean kick some a**, then this might be a game for you! Our cheerleaders are some fun, high profile model types plus me and our guys are a sweet bunch of men. This is an equal opportunity team and we already have both male and female cheerleaders and male and female players, but we really do want to add a few players to the team. With owner Umberto Giano who also owns Club IX, you know it will be fun. Check it out if you are interested or have any questions or come out and watch us play and cheer some time.

Holodeck
(Kara and Shield)
I visited my friend Shield Markus who is a fellow Kansan at the Ultimate Holodeck today. They are so cool I figured I'd blog them so if someone hasn't seen these yet they won't miss out. These holodecks are fun just to check out really, but even better they are for sale too and the store has been open since Feburary 2009. It's like the ultimate explore all in one spot. They can all be demo'd in 360 degree scenes rezzed from menus. I imagine these are amazing for sim owners who have rental skyboxes, shop owners, individuals who want their land and use these around skyboxes to live in as sim extenders, scenery props for photographers, etc. I played around in the demos and you can see the menus I have showing that for each holodeck changes the scenery and you can even add your own scenes. Developers are Vander Reich, Richsz Rexen and Shield Markus. The holodeck instructions will soon be in many different languages. I was taking photos and Shield showed up so he gave me some more info. about the holodecks.

Open House-Come Visit if You Like! : )

Open House-Please Visit!



Hi KK friends. Have you ever sort of wondered how each other lives in SL but maybe dont' know some contacts well enough yet to have gotten around to a visit or you can't connect due to time differences or whatever? Well here is your chance to see how I have been living for a while. Even if I don't know you please feel free to check it out if you are interested. Come and visit and have a look at my place if you want, but chances are I might not be around when you do, as I tend to move around a lot. I will be moving out in 2 days and so most likely this cute Staten Island flat will be available then. I love it because it has high ceilings great for camming, moving, dancing and partying and just having a sense of space and right outside one of the many large floor to ceiling windows is the bridge which is just absolutely gorgeous when lit up at night. I don't have time for a party now before I leave so if you would like to see how I've been set up for a while just drop right in and feel at home. I have clean sheets on the bed if anyone decides to spend the night. The rest of the sim is very cool too and you can check it out here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Staten%20Island/71/154/62 or direct link here: StatenIslandHere.

Explore SL-A Few More Cool Explores

Just a few more random SL explores I've been enjoying. Sorry to bore my Flickr friends who have seen most these pics and SLurls there before. I even left out most of the narcissistic self photos in lieu of more scenery for a change.
*************************************************************************

Bewitched at Elven Mist
Visit here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Elven%20Mist/134/23/22 or direct link here: BewitchedHere.
This is a super cool fantasy realm loaded with huge colorful mushrooms amid the forest foliage including somewhat creepy areas, etc. Very nice sim and great for photos. Usually there are awesome looking avatars hanging around too.

or direct link here: NaNoBoSqUeAuspiciousHere.
This interesting sim is loaded with beautiful colors and shapes and tubes to walk through and OMG I can't even tell what all it is. It's sort of like a painting in some places with wild plants of various design etc., Just check it out for yourself if you want a interesting explore. There is a big research center in the middle. Some things there are by By Romy Nayar, but I never got full details. I've heard this is made for the cancer-battling Istituto Catalan de Nanotecnologia, but that may be Papermakis/Metalas I previously blogged briefly about which has build connections. I'll have to check out info. on this sim a little more later. (Yeah, yeah, I'm not REALLY a reporter so details could be confused at times just take the link and see for yourself if interested)
********************************************************************************
Innsmouth

Innsmouth a Lovecraft sim
Visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Innsmouth/14/245/13 or direct link here: InnsmouthHere.
This one should be at the top it is sooo amazing, but not specifically new. It is loaded with dark buildings including underground places, creepy monsters and modeled after a mysterious Lovecraft story. It is a RP sim, but I didn't' see that a observer tag was needed any time I've ever been in there. You can purchase the monsters and other cool associated things. Check it out, and you will NOT be disappointed on this one. My friend Sonicity Fitzroy wrote an article for the August Retropolitan magazine.... take this link to see one of Soni's many cool photos,: www.flickr.com/photos/simplysoni/5996798269/in/photostream.. go there or nab a copy inworld to get all the details and check out the magazine here. Retropolitan.org/Retropolitan_Magazine/Home.html
*******************************************************************************


Ebony Coast
Visit here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Ebony%20Coast/65/75/21 or direct link here: EbonyCoastHere. This is a beautiful Everglade type looking sim that is just fun to explore and take wonderful photos of.
******************************************************************************
Art Box-Alice
Artbox
Visit here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Klaw/10/21/25 or direct link here: ArtboxHere. This is a fun place to play with many many preset photo stations or scenes to chose from. The two owners have developed prop sets of famous paintings, movies, etc for visitors to select, rez below and jump on predetermined pose spot and some even include free boxes of coordinating props or clothes to complete the photos. All this for free, but I would recommend hitting the donation box, as they have done a ton of work and it really is an amazing place. This is one of thier more whimsical scenes I posed in, but they have some very classy scenes to chose from as well. The selection just keeps growing and growing. Check it out some time.
*****************************************************************************
Darkness Falls
Darkness Falls at Benthan Hollow
Visit here:http://slurl.com/secondlife/Bentham%20Hollow/112/128/21 or direct link here: DarknessBenthamHere.
Are you ready for Halloween? This sim should get you in the mood with all it's creepy scenery that is great for photos and just playing around in. It's the latest Bentham build.

Wretched Dollies and Awesome Builds



Visit http://slurl.com/secondlife/Asunder/230/36/73 or direct link here: UlyssesHere.

While out shopping and exploring SL today with my friend Belinda Barnes I ran into an exceptional builder than I felt warrants a blog post here. I popped in to the Asunder sim to check out a product for sale and while at the Wretched Dollies store at Asunder, LeBoheme I was lucky to run into the builder Ulysses Cabaret. I was impressed with the various things in the store and told him so, and he offered to show me his new build that just went on sale called the Tower of Hades. My friend Bel and I were both very impressed with this huge gothic type build with secret doors, dungeon, etc., and some of the most amazing textures. The size alone was impressive and the tall towers were covered in spires and seemed to reach the sky. Ulysses is a builder of victorian, gothic vampire, and steampunk type buildings and various articles and textures. You can see his work at LeBoheme - Asunder 174, 57, 63 and at other shops at The Hollow and Nighty's Twisted Thorn. He was very friendly and helpful and even provided me with photos for this blog when I asked about blogging. I don't often blog a product but this seems much more than that. It really is a work of art, as were the things I looked at in his store. Check it out some time.

He is also well known for the Twisted Fun House, but as I said his textures are astounding and he has a whole lot of fun things in his shop.
